FPV Camera Caddxfpv User Guide
Product Introduction
The main features of the Caddx Gazer full-color night vision analogue camera are as follows:
- Ultra-Low Light Full-Color Night Vision:
Still provides color images in extremely dark environments, breaking through the limitations of nighttime. - Detachable Filter:
The filter can be freely removed or attached, preserving image quality during the day and enhancing brightness at night, suitable for all-weather use. - AI Image Enhancement:
Clear details during the day, AI enhancement at night, maintaining clarity and high color
reproduction. - Adjustable Zoom Function:
Supports 3x magnification with stable image quality
Installation Direction
During installation, please ensure this side is facing upwards to prevent the image from being
upside down.
Control Mode
Zoom Function:
Set one FC solder pad to output a PWM signal for control (use a knob switch for control). The
FC outputs a PWM signal to perform zoom operations.
For example: when the PWM signal duty cycle is 100%, the image effect is 1x zoom; when the PWM signal duty cycle is 200%, the image effect is 2x zoom.
Reset Function:
Set one FC solder pad with a TX-defined IO to trigger the switch. This allows direct switching
from high magnification to 1x, and restores the zoom focus when turned off.
Reset Function (Day/Night Mode Switch):
Set one FC solder pad with a TX-defined IO to trigger the day/night mode switch each time.
(Day mode requires the use of a filter, while night mode does not require a filter.)
Connection

- 2A7: Input IO signal for controlling the day/night mode switch
Debugging Procedure
The following is an example; other solder pad definitions can be configured as needed.
The control lines are soldered as follows:
- 2A7: Connect to flight controller TX1
- 2A8: Connect to flight controller M7
- 2A5: Connect to flight controller TX6
- GND: Connect to the GND
In the Betaflight program, select the “CLI” option from the menu bar. In the text box, enter the command “resource” to load and view the pin definitions, as shown in the image below:
- Release Occupation Operation: IIn the text box, input the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:
“resource MOTOR 7 none” and press Enter
“resource SERIAL_TX 1 none” and press Enter
“resource SERIAL_TX 6 none” and press Enter to unassigned. - Configuration Definition Operation: In the text box, input the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:
“resource SERVO 1 B00” and press Enter
“resource PINIO 1 B06” and press Enter
“resource PINIO 2 C06” and press Enter to configure.
After completing the configuration, input “Save” in the text box and press Enter to save, as shown in the image below;
RC Channel Configuration:
In the Betaflight program, select the “Modes” option from the menu bar. Find ‘USER1″ and click to start debugging. If Channel 4 is set to a 2-position switch, select the ‘AUX 4″ channel. Then find “USER2” and click to start debugging. If Channel 5 is set to a 2-position switch, select the “AUX 5” channel, as shown in the image below:
- In the Betaflight program, select the “Configuration” option from the menu bar. In the “Other Features” section, check the box to enable “SERVO_TILT”, as shown in the image below;
- In the Betaflight program, select the “Servos” option from the menu bar. If the remote control channel A7 is set to a rotary switch, check the box for “Servo 1” and enable the “A7” remote control channel to complete the setup, as shown in the image below;
